  • Title: Get the London Look: Anna Neagle As the Emblem of British Fashion and Femininity in Maytime in Mayfair (1949). Between 19
    Title: Get the London Look: Anna Neagle as the Emblem of British Fashion and Femininity in Maytime in Mayfair (1949). Between 1947 and 1952, the top British female star at the domestic box office was Anna Neagle. She had displaced Margaret Lockwood, who had achieved the top position during the war years with her turns as dangerous and subversive women in Gainsborough pictures such as The Man in Grey (Arliss, 1943) and, most famously, The Wicked Lady (Arliss, 1945). In both films Lockwood co-starred with James Mason, the brooding, somewhat sadistic idol to a legion of female fans. Mason, mirroring Lockwood’s popularity, was the top male star of 1945 and his appeal was a ‘combination of romantic allure and Sadean fascination’ (Evans 2001: 108) – an appeal that meshed with Lockwood’s ‘unity of transgression and sexual appetite’ (Babington 2001: 94). Aimed at a largely female audience, the Gainsborough melodramas provided escapism and the danger and sexual allure of the characters and stars resulted in a skewing of ‘moral logic’ (Leach 2004: 67), which Jeffrey Richards reads as revelatory of the wartime dislocation of moral values (Richards 1985: 292). With the end of the war, however, there came a reclamation of traditional values, not least in British cinema. In the years immediately following the war, there was a distinct pattern in British films that foregrounded ‘the British people’ as hero, a pattern following the wartime work of Humphrey Jennings in providing images of a united Britain; and the idea image of a Briton was a figure of restraint, good-humour and self-deprecation.
